Chinese, Overweight or Obesity, Real-World Registry Study

April 10, 2026 updated by: Yiming Mu, Chinese PLA General Hospital

Chinese Registry of Overweight or Obesity, a Multicenter Real-World Registry Study on Clinical Management - CROWN Study

This study will enroll 10,000 patients with obesity, with the participation of approximately 50 medical institutions nationwide. At baseline, demographic data, physical examinations, multiple laboratory tests (including complete blood count, urinalysis, liver/renal function, electrolytes, thyroid function panel [3 items], urine albumin/creatinine ratio, fasting glucose, fasting C-peptide, fasting insulin, HbA1c, blood lipids, etc.) and hepatic elasticity ultrasound will be performed. Patients will receive weight-loss therapy in routine clinical practice. Data on clinic visits, adverse events, and changes in therapeutic regimens will be centrally collected by investigators or their authorized representatives at Week 26 and Week 52.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, multicenter registry study designed to investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of obese patients in China, which may provide insights and opportunities to narrow the gaps in obesity-related clinical practice and improve clinical practice standards in China. The study will recruit 10,000 subjects from weight management clinics or endocrinology departments of 50 tertiary or higher-level medical institutions nationwide and follow them up for one year.

Researchers will obtain informed consent for study participation from obese patients during routine clinical visits, after which patients will be enrolled and registered.

Subsequently, subjects will undergo a baseline visit and be invited to participate in this 1 year observational registry study. They will receive clinical evaluations and the treatment regimens prescribed by their treating physicians.

Following the scheduled baseline visit, subjects will continue to be followed up for 1 year through routine clinical care as part of this observational study, and all collected data will be uploaded to the registry center.
